In Turkey, Jeremain Lens scored his first goal for Besiktas as the Istanbul club were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Trabzonspor.

Anderson Talisca’s early opener for Besiktas was cancelled out by Olcay Sahan, before Lens put his side back in front in the 58th minute.

But former Fulham and Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega levelled for Trabzonspor 10 minutes from time at the Vodafone Arena.

Besiktas stay second in Super Lig, but leaders Galatasaray increased the gap to five points.

In Italy, Fabio Borini’s AC Milan were beaten 2-0 by Roma at the San Siro, as the pressure continued to mount on boss Vincenzo Montella.

Borini played 84 minutes of the match before making way for Giacomo Bonaventura, although Milan were already down to ten men by that point following the dismissal of Hakan Calhanoglu for a second bookable offence.

Milan are seventh in Serie A having lost three games out of seven so far, and the heat is on for Montella amid talk linking Carlo Ancelotti - who was sacked by Bayern Munich last week - with a return to his old club.

Closer to home in the National League, Michael Ledger missed Hartlepool United’s 1-1 draw at Woking due to a back injury.

And Max Stryjek was not involved in Accrington Stanley’s 1-0- League Two win at Forest Green.
